We are very pleased to announce the release of Sesame 4.0.0-M1. This first Milestone release for Sesame 4 is intended to gather community feedback on some major new features and improvements in the Sesame APIs and core libraries. Sesame 4 is a major new release of the Sesame framework, with significant improvements in usability of its core APIs. The highlights include: - Updates to the core APIs to leverage Java 8 features such as AutoCloseable, try-with-resources, and lambda expressions. - Query results and Models can be processed using the Java 8 Stream API. - All Sesame exceptions are now unchecked, allowing for less boilerplate. What all this comes down to is that with Sesame 4, your code can be more compact, easier to understand, more efficient, and with far less boilerplate code, allowing you to focus on what's important: the task you want to get done. Some of the changes in Sesame 4 are not fully compatible with older releases. For those of you upgrading from older releases, have a look at the release notes[1]. For a more comprehensive overview have a look at What's New in Sesame 4[2], or browse your way through the release changelog[3]. More information, including documentation and downloads, is available at our project website: http://rdf4j.org/ . We welcome any and all feedback on this release - the goal is get community feedback in time to make necessary further improvements before we do a 4.0.0 final release later this year.
